FNESS is a not-for-profit organization and registered charity that supports BC First Nations in developing and sustaining safer, healthier, and thriving communities. Our programs focus on Climate Resilience, Awareness, Preparedness, Mitigation, and Recovery. The goals of a self-sustaining and resilient community must keep safety as a priority as we support the development of community and professional capacity. Join us in fostering thriving, resilient, communities led by Indigenous knowledge. Together, we can create a future where disaster preparedness and climate justice go hand in hand, and where Indigenous communities have the resources, they need to thrive in the face of increasing climate challenges.
